Me and my friends were talking about this the other day, but it seems like all video game clans out there are first person shooter based. Even most of the clans at the schools we have went to, which don't get me wrong had both nice and mean people, seemed to be all first person shooter based.

 

Anyone else notice this?

No. I've seen other clans.

 

In any case, I tend to prefer to go solo. For a lot of reasons.

Ah, I haven't. Yeah usually I tend to go solo too, but I do get lonely lol

Its to be expected when glancing at the surface of multiplayer connected gaming. Those are one of the genres the industry has found to be incredibly easy to churn out of a factory and garner high returns on investment as long as they recieve a big enough marketing push.

If you want to find anything else, you need to look deeper than marketing and investments disguised as games.

Honestly, if the game isn't an MMO, clans feel pretty useless.  I've seen clans for every game with online multiplayer.  Shooters are just the most popular so they stand out the most.

every online multiplayer game has clans. 

 

i care least about FPS clans because it doesn't really mean anything. Though i have joined in clans in other games. Most either have clanwars or team gameplay complicated enough that you want to get capable teammates you can work with.

 

also worth noting me and my brother managed to start a squeaker clan on complete accident just by doing good in COD and having BOSS as the clantag. It had nothing to do with a legitimate clan then a bunch of squeakers copied made a clan out of it one day. This happened about a month or two after the wiiU came out and didn't have any games yet.

Clans tend to be pointless regardless of the game type.

There are hordes of MMO based clans around. Id say most are FPS/MMO focused
